no country is crucial to the US other than the US. There's partnerships that make sense and I argue that Israel is a good partner that brings a lot to the table. I have never argued that the US must help Israel or else something bad will happen.

arguing semantics instead of the spirit of what is being discussed. you guys cant help yourselves.

Eh, the general opinion is that Iran is relatively weak at the moment due to them propping up various goatfucker insurgent groups in other countries and they are also fairly well scouted by their enemies. Also, they've recently sold a bunch of their weapons to Vlad for his disastrous invasions of assorted Ukrainian backwater villages so they have fuck all ordinance on hand.

Any military action by the US would be a bunch of rapid decapitation strikes that lead to Iran essentially begging them to stop before they got to the people who are actually running things over there.

Pardon my lack of mEdIa lItErACy, but why is Trump beating China with a comedically-sized blunt?

Callback to Teddy Roosevelt. "Speak softly and carry a big stick", works for me because Trump isn't screaming about tariffs, he's letting the stick do the talking.

Israeli weapons are terrible meme weapons that I've never seen live up to their claims. My coworkers and I constantly loathe the day we get stuck with a weapons program involving the Israelis and I have yet to meet someone government or contractor side who has had a good experience with Israelis when it comes to weapons. They always have glaring issues in two areas relating to production, effectiveness, suitability, or survivability.

Having to deal with Israeli weapons and their contractors has unironically made me hate Israel more than any internet meme has.

It's impossible to compete with Chinese Bitcoin miners because industrial areas there get free electricity.

Ant also seems to develop a new ASIC, mine with it while the difficulty is still low and they have a big advantage over other miners, then sell the new miners after recouping development costs.

What consumers can buy is way behind cutting edge when it's finally available.

What led you to the conclusion?

Looking at how jews/Israelis argue, really. I don't hate you personally, but the way you pilpul is extremely off putting. I think it's anemic to anyone with a brain. For Israel specifically, AIPAC and the other 6 million Israeli organizations that lobby the government and corporations for their own preferential treatment.

Just to provide a recent example, one that I somewhat agree with, but the fact that it's preferential towards jews/Israeli's, rather than as a principal. Targeting "anti-semitic" protesters here on visas for things like education. Should we kick all those protesting niggers out? Yes. Should we kick them out only because they're protesting Israel? No. Any one of these faggots here as a guest should shut the fuck up and do their studying or working and then go back to wherever they came from, or put in the work to become a citizen. But the government never gave a shit when they were having anti-white protests. The second it starts escalating to include Israel though? Suddenly the sky is falling and the deportations kick in.

It doesn't take third worlders or groypers pointing it out for me to see the preferential treatment jews/Israelis get.

bombing iran will not lead to another forever war. Iran literally doesn't have enough water to supply most of the country and they're currently in an energy crisis where they can barely keep the lights on despite being an oil producing nation. The people are about to revolt already.

Let them revolt, or let's work with an insurgency. Just bombing them risks the people saying "fuck off" and uniting behind the assholes in charge.

Instead of dropping tarrifs for free, he should have made it so eligible countries can earn a drop in tarrifs up to a newly defined minimum amount, by having their leaders say the N word on live tv (Each time they say it it drops the tarrif by 0.1% until they reach the new minimum tarrif).
Click to expand...
The tariffs are only down to 10% for 90 days. As a gesture of good faith from Trump. Only for the countries that have already come to the table to discuses dropping their tariffs against the US.

Those who haven't come to the table, the EU and Canada, still have higher tariffs.

And fuck China.
